What happens when governments ignore the rulings of Europe’s highest courts? For thousands of citizens across the EU, the answer is a persistent denial of justice and a weakening of the rule of law that underpins our democracies. Since 2022, Democracy Reporting International and the European Implementation Network have jointly tracked how EU Member States implement the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the EU in an annual report: ‘Justice Delayed and Justice Denied’.
The fourth edition of Justice Delayed and Justice Denied focusing on 2025 is now available online.
